Events in Kettering this week highlight family-friendly sessions designed for under-fives, including rhymetime and sensory play at local libraries such as Rothwell Library and Burton Latimer Community Managed Library. Drop-in craft meetups take place weekly at Dottie & Olive near Horsemarket Bus Interchange, while mindful creativity workshops, such as terrazzo tray making, are offered by Northamptonshire Adult Learning at venues including Kettering College's Creative Arts Studio.
